In scapy I've added a layer with "bind_layers". But it seems that I did something wrong and a packet is not recognized correctly. I try to add a layer to scipy and don't understand where am I wrong. from scapy.data import ETHER_TYPES from scapy.fields import XBitField, BitFieldLenField, ShortField, XShortEnumField from scapy.layers.l2 import Ether, Dot1Q, LLC from scapy.packet import Packet, bind_layers def remove_layer(pkt, pos): print('remove_layer N = ' + str(pos)) payload = pkt[pos].payload pkt[pos - 1].remove_payload() return pkt / payload def remove_hsr(pkt): print('remove_hsr') print('layers:') for layer in pkt: print(layer.name) if HSR in pkt: print('HSR is here') j = 0 for layer in pkt: if layer is HSR: print('HSR layer index: ' + str(j)) return remove_layer(pkt, j) j += 1 print('remove_hsr : HSR not found') return pkt class HSR(Packet): name = "HSR" fields_desc = [ XBitField("path_id", 0, 4), BitFieldLenField("lsdu_size", 0, 12), ShortField("sequence_number", 0), XShortEnumField("type", 0x9000, ETHER_TYPES), ] bind_layers(Ether, HSR, type=0x892f) bind_layers(Dot1Q, HSR, type=0x892f) pkt_nohsr = '0060089fb1f300400540ef24000e810000200800450000a43b3b40004006b7548397208183972015048a17704e14e0754d3d609980187c70b13900000101080a0004f0c90199a3f3420007001d00c0000800c00000005e00d9025e00d9020000d9025e00420007001d00c0000900c00001005d00d8025d00d8020100d8025d00420007001d00c0000700c00001000100d80201000100010001005d00420007001d00c0000a00c00000000000d90200000000000000005e00568034cb' pkt_nohsr = bytearray.fromhex(pkt_nohsr) pkt_nohsr = Ether(pkt_nohsr) print(pkt_nohsr) pkt = '0060089fb1f300400540ef24892f10b60000000e810000200800450000a43b3b40004006b7548397208183972015048a17704e14e0754d3d609980187c70b13900000101080a0004f0c90199a3f3420007001d00c0000800c00000005e00d9025e00d9020000d9025e00420007001d00c0000900c00001005d00d8025d00d8020100d8025d00420007001d00c0000700c00001000100d80201000100010001005d00420007001d00c0000a00c00000000000d90200000000000000005e00568034cb' pkt = bytearray.fromhex(pkt) pkt = Ether(pkt) print(pkt) print(remove_hsr(pkt)) My header here is '892f10b60000' where '892f' is an indicator of my type. I connected my layer with Ether and Dot1Q because those are possible lower layers. This code produces the output: 802.3 00:40:05:40:ef:24 > 00:60:08:9f:b1:f3 / LLC / Raw / Padding 00:40:05:40:ef:24 > 00:60:08:9f:b1:f3 (0x892f) / HSR / Raw remove_hsr layers: Ethernet HSR is here remove_hsr : HSR not found 00:40:05:40:ef:24 > 00:60:08:9f:b1:f3 (0x892f) / HSR / Raw print(pkt) does not recognize inner layers with HSR added. HSR in pkt is true, but for layer in pkt has only 1 iteration with layer == Ether. What did i do wrong? Continue reading...
